No. Paul was referring to scripture. However, you BELIEVE that he was referring to the Old Testament.GodSaves said:

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

This is where questioning begins.
I did and I do because what other scripture was there that Jews read? Paul was a Pharisee who was well schooled in the Old Testament and believed it. He just didn't believe Jesus was the Son of God, until Jesus Himself appeared to Him on the road to capture Christ's workers. Jesus too often referred to the Old Testament as 'Scripture.'
What other Scripture was there that Paul was so well versed in and believed was God's Word too?

No. He referred to parts of the Old Testament.GodSaves said:
I have no idea, but Paul did not specifically state all of Genesis, or the OT for that matter, was scripture. Its a belief. Which I presently have no problem with. There are both negatives and positive to this belief. I however do not concentrate on belief in irrelevant questions. My only reason for questioning is to instill personal reflection and introspection among others. I do not think we should just believe something because it is the popular thing to do, or because Mom and Dad and the pastor said so.
In essence, I believe both evolution and the literal translation of Genesis to both historically and intrinsically possible. However you will fail to convince me one or the other are false, because I am at the point now, where I am no longer interested in being convinced.
As a side note...
I will never again be impressed by someone's personal belief in an event that is irrelevant to one's salvation.
